Re: [Videolib] AIME primer
Gary, Thank you for asking about AIME membership. AIME membership is open to any institution or agency interested in copyright compliance and the education of those who use copyrighted materials, regardless of format. Annual institutional dues are only $150, while corporate dues are $250. Additional membership information can be found at www.AIME.org AIME has a variety of members who provide services to students beyond k-12...a quick count shows 13 devoted to higher ed. Our institutional members consist of state universities and private colleges/universities, state departments of education, school districts, regional service agencies, county offices of education, private schools, public television agencies, etc. Many of these agencies provide educational services to students attending higher educational facilities. These institutional members have found that AIME provides needed information and support in a timely manner and at a fee that is very reasonable. While the majority of our institutional members offer services to the k-12 student, AIME has received a number of inquiries about membership from the university/college venue. With institutional legal counsel fees frequently being charged to various departmental budgets, AIME dues covering access to an attorney specializing in intellectual property rights are considered by many to be a good investment. Members submit their copyright questions and the AIME attorney provides written replies. A quarterly newsletter provides additional information, a hot topic lead article and a QA related to copyright. A Copyright Information Packet is posted in the Member Area of the AIME website, and includes articles and QAs that can be duplicated to meet the needs of students, staff, faculty and administration of member agencies. All of this support is covered with annual institutional dues of $150. Please let me know if you have other questions. I'd be happy to answer off list as needed.

[Videolib] AIME primer
The much publicized educational video streaming dispute between AIME (Association for Information Media and Equipment, www.aime.org) and UCLA poses a number of complicated copyright questions. Arnold Lutzker prepared a primer on educational video streaming recently as counsel for AIME. The article puts the dispute in context and addresses Fair Use, as well as the TEACH Act and face-to-face teaching exemptions in Section 110 of the Copyright Act. The thrust of the article is to underscore that the copyright law does not countenance a one-size fits all solution to video streaming. For educators who want to rely upon the legal exceptions rather than author permissions, they must be prepared to do serious homework on a work-by-work basis, and realize that use of many videos created by educational publishers, like AIME members, are not available for unlicensed streaming. Streaming without careful consideration of the nature of the work in question risks the real prospect that the use is outside the scope of the limitations and thus a copyright violation. AIME hopes this piece will lead not only to a balanced and enlightened discussion of video streaming practices, but also to implementation of responsible digital practices.

Re: [Videolib] AIME primer
Gary and all, AIME is an association with membership representing educational institutions as well as producers and distributors of media content. In fact, the institutional membership is far greater than that of the corporate world. Public libraries, school systems, colleges/universities and regional educational service agencies have found AIME to be beneficial in providing guidance as they strive for copyright compliance with faculty, administrators and students. Recent questions coming into the AIME office and answered by attorney Arnold Lutzker have included those related to creative commons, digital yearbooks and photos, differences between trademarks and copyrights, use of iPods and podcasting in the classroom, downloading video and audio content, PowerPoint and posts concerns.as well as streaming video issues. AIME seeks to provide a balanced view that guides toward responsible uses of copyrighted materials. In case those reading these list-serv posts are not aware of some of Mr. Lutzker's work in the legislative area, he has represented a consortium of five national library associations on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act (CTEA), and the TEACH Act. This background allows a unique perspective for all of our AIME members. Additional information about the organization can be found at www.AIME.org Thanks, Betty -Original Message- From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of ghand...@library.berkeley.edu Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2010 12:28 PM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: Re: [Videolib] AIME primer Thanks, Betty I think it is very important to point out that Mr. Lutzker's primer was developed for AIME, an industry group representing the interests of intellectual property owners and their agents. Lawyers representing the interests of end-users in educational and artistic communities may very well have considerably different takes on these matters. In other words, there is no gospel and--at present, at least--no defining case law in the matter of streamed video. Thanks for posting this interesting take on the issues.
